“Marianne and Ginger 🐾 watched my boys for 2 solid weeks while I had surgery and recovered. My boys are incredibly anxious and clingy about me, and one of them has a history of not eating while I’m gone. This is the longest I’ve ever been away from them in their 11 and 1/2 years. I think they would have been happy to stay longer. They were totally fine, no issues, and I received regular updates. Both Marianne and Ginger have incredible patience for my bossy boys. ❤️”


“I was able to book with Casey last minute and she took great care of my Sweetie. When my cousin picked my dog up she said my dog was walking around like she was home and comfortable. I would definitely rebook and you should too.”


“Mia is the BEST!!!!' Our fur baby took to her right away. She sent me plenty of pictures and kept me informed on how Jewel was doing? They gave me total peace!!!! It was hard to leave her BUT she was in very good hands.”


“As always Chandra does such a great dog with our Sammy boy! Thank you Chandra for always keeping us informed and sending us pictures! We never worry when Sammy is with you ❤️”


“My dog, Nitro, has separation anxiety almost as bad as his father. I was a little worried about how he would feel about me abandoning him with strangers. But Rebecca, James and their family welcomed to Nitro into their home and did a great job assuring him that he would be okay. Nitro was very happy to see me when I returned and I was happy to see that he seemed to have had a good time. I was very pleased with Rebecca and James and I will definitely call upon them again”

Miller got along well with their dog and they enjoyed plenty of playtime as well as downtime. I highly recommend them if you are ever in need of a pet sitter in the Columbus area!”


About: Both my husband and I have grown up with dogs our entire lives. In my case, I was raised in a home with 6 dogs at once, so caring for multiple pets is second nature. We have experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities — from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra care. Our responsibilities have included feeding, grooming, daily walks, and of course, lots of playtime and affection. We’re comfortable with high-energy dogs, shy or anxious pups, and everything in between. We currently have two dogs of our own and treat every dog we care for as part of the family. I’m a stay-at-home mom, so I’ll be home with the pups the majority of the time. This allows for plenty of attention, walks, potty breaks, and play throughout the day. My daily routine is flexible, and I can easily adapt to your dog’s needs and schedule. My husband also helps out in the evenings after work, so your pup will get even more love and care during that time. Your dog’s safety and comfort are our top priorities. We have a fully fenced yard for secure outdoor play and potty breaks. Inside, we have a designated dog room with air conditioning to keep pups cool and comfortable. If needed, we also have an extra room to separate dogs for rest, feeding, or personal space. We’re crate-friendly and can crate your dog upon request or according to their routine. Our home is both dog and toddler safe, with no access to hazardous items or unsafe areas. We treat every dog like part of the family, using gentle handling, positive reinforcement, and plenty of love and attention. We require a meet and greet before bookings to make sure all pups get along and feel comfortable. We want the experience to be a great fit for everyone. We’re also committed to keeping you updated with regular messages and photos so you feel confident and connected while you’re away.

“Stephanie was awesome I was in a pinch and needed immediate help. She was right there and made me feel relaxed because I was very nervous leaving my dog with someone I don’t know . I recommend her services to anyone in need .”
